Chaps, there's a reason these demonstrators are using whistles, horns, and making so much noise in all the video clips you are watching.
They don't do these when protesting climate change or LGBTQ rights.
Those sudden, impulsive noises trigger the acoustic startle response. It's a rapid, involuntary reaction mediated by the brainstem, involving muscle tension, elevated heart rate, and adrenaline release.
That repetitive exposure from them fatigues neural pathways but sustains heightened arousal, diverting cognitive resources from higher-order tasks to basic threat monitoring.
It is an acute stressor, activating the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and sympathetic nervous system, which releases cortisol and adrenaline.
Long exposure to this stuff impairs prefrontal cortex function critical for decision making.
Pair this with the sheer annoyance, these tactics are a low-tech escalation of protest disruption, rooted in documented physiological responses to noise.
In layman's terms, they're putting these officers on edge and triggering them to act. Pretti and Good was exactly what they wanted. It's usually someone else who ends up dying and not the instigator.
This is a great example.
Watch the guy at the rear strike an officer against the head with an object. These officers, already on edge, are very likely to react to something like that. When someone ends up getting hurt, they're all innocent.
These events aren't random.
These are organised tactics. 80% of the people protesting aren't aware that they're being used by their own team as cannon fodder to generate outrage.
@RobertJSalvador@nicksortor What's so sad is she has been made that way to risk life and limb because of all the crap that's been spewed out of the evil folks in D.C. Say it enough and you can make folks believe lies are true.
@rob_vendetti They are following the communist manifesto to a T. We must resist and vote and make others aware to win or we loose our country and our God given Rights
BREAKING: Judge Engoron who just ruled against Donald Trump in New York has previously been accused of having an affair with the Law Secretary of a plaintiff's counsel whose case was before Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Martin Schoenfeld
Simply put, Engoron worked for the judge as a Law Secretary and was in an "entanglement" with the Law Secretary of the Plaintiff's lawyers
Schoenfeld, at the request of the defendants, recused himself from the case because of Engoron's actions
This was back in 2002
